Hopping from leg to leg with its wings poised for balance, the owl appears to be joining in with the latest internet trend, which has seen police departments from around the world competing in a dance off. The amusing scene was photographed by Austin Thomas of Rainford, Merseyside at a farm in Formby, Merseyside.
